Tivo finally released its next-generation Series3 HDTV DVR. This is Tivo’s first product designed for digital cable and high-definition television. It replaces the cable box.
The Tivo Series3 fully supports Verizon FiOS TV service.
Verizon FiOS currently has a major software update in the works for its Motorola QIP6412 HDTV DVRs. Although little is known about the software, it is said to offer significant improvements in both usability and functionality.
The software update is slated for trial in one or two markets in November/December, with the rest to follow in 1Q 2007.
Today, Verizon FiOS introduced their multi-room DVR service. This software update enables the current Motorola QIP6416 HDTV DVR to share and stream television recordings to standard set-top boxes anywhere in your home. The multiroom DVR service also allows you listen to music and view pictures stored on your computer. No additional cabling is required to take advantage of this service — it uses your existing cable.
